Spiffy, you and your bump look gorgeous
Hi Girls! I'm doing ok, so glad it's spring! The sun is out, the weather is slowly getting warmer, and I'm spending a lot more time outside
Colin is learning lots of new things, he too likes being outside, there are lots of things to put in his mouth, like grass, leaves, dirt, etc.! I really have to keep one eye on him at all times to keep him from eating the yard
He just learned how to clap his hands today! It's SO cute! He's getting really close to walking, he's cruising around on the furniture constantly. He cut his 3rd tooth, it's the first one on the top. I thought he'd get two at one time, like he did last time, but alas, this tooth looks like a loner. He's talking a LOT these days too. He's going through that clingy stranger-danger phase, doesn't want to be held by anyone else. But when he's around my little siblings, he's pleased as punch to just play and hang out with them, be one of the crowd. It's so awesome because he gets fussy when he's bored, but they entertain him and he's a happy baby!
I babysit for my mom so she can work a few days a week. With my dad's work schedule, she was only working 1 day a week, so I'm helping her out so she can pick up more hours. It's nice for me, it gives me a feeling of helping out and being useful, it kind of frames my week. I have to actually keep track of what day of the week it is
I'm also doing some gardening, along with the usual cooking and cleaning and laundry. And I'm also packing.
Our housing situation looks like it's going to change again. My parents and I have our eye on a small farm, but in order to make the down payment, they have to sell one of their two houses. They've decided to list the one that Colin and I are currently staying in, so we're packing the house up, and will be moving into the smaller house, along with the rest of the family. It'll be 8 people all in a 3 Br, 1.5 bath. Yikes! Hopefully the time that we're all crammed in together will be short! If we are able to buy our little dream farm, it is a lot closer to my house, where my husband is still living, and will be a MUCH shorter drive to take Colin to visit his dad. Right now the drive is almost two hours
I drive there every other week, and on the opposite week, he drives over here. So Colin gets to see his dad every week.
So my husband and I are still separated. I haven't filed for divorce, but I think that's the conclusion I'm coming to. At this point, I don't want to be married anymore. It's strange, I spent my whole life looking forward to getting married, dated with the intention of finding someone to marry, got married at 19... and now I think I could happily live the rest of my life being single. Who knows what the future holds, but that's how I'm feeling right now about relationships and marriage.
So that's what's up with us. I haven't been on BNB real regularly lately, so I am WAY behind on this thread, but I saw Skadi's announcement and had to comment
